Organic Reactions: Equilibria, Kinetics and Mechanism (Volume 50) (Studies in Organic Chemistry, Volume 50) - Tapa dura

This text begins with a brief survey of non-kinetic methods, and continues with kinetic methods used for the elucidation of reaction mechanisms. It is method-oriented and therefore deals with the following topics: basic principles of reactions kinetics; structure and reactivity relationships; isotope effects; acids, bases, electrophiles and nucleophiles; and concludes with homogeneous catalysis. Rigorous mathematical descriptions of the basic principles are provided in a clear and easily understandable form. The book is supported by an extensive list of references. It also contains a collection of problems.
